What families say

This free museum on Fort Rucker is a hit for helicopter and aviation history buffs, with an impressive collection ranging from the Huey and Chinook to rare experimental aircraft, plus indoor and outdoor displays and some kid-friendly activities on the second floor. Since it's on a military base, plan ahead—you'll need a photo ID and must stop at the visitor center for base access before heading in. Reviewers of all ages seem to enjoy it, and several longtime visitors note the exhibits are well-maintained and periodically updated.

Ages 7–18
